Predicting patrol officer performance from a psychological assessment battery: A predictive validity study

The psychological assessment battery is an integral part of the selection process used to select patrol officer applicants. Unlike all other procedures used in the selection process, the psychological assessment has not been adequately validated. The purpose of this study was an attempt to provide validation data for a psychological assessment battery. The battery consisted of the Nelson-Denny, Shipley-Hartford, MMPI, and the Motivational Analysis Test (MAT). Performance measures included various measures of training academy performance and field training performance. A stepwise regression and MANOVA/Discriminant Analysis indicated that the psychological tests did predict performance, although an exact predictive equation could not be developed due to the high intercorrelations between predictor variables. This research was sponsored in part by a grant from the School of Applied Arts and Technology, Southwest Texas State University.

The European community software directive: The United Kingdom implementation

Conclusion The Regulations appear to have reinforced the protection available to software producers under United Kingdom law. The provisions of the Software Directive and the Regulations are complex and not without significant inconsistencies which are likely to prove to be a source of litigation. The drafters of the Regulations chose, unlike many of its European partners, not to adopt the wording of the Software Directive but to write their own interpretation, adding an element of uncertainty to the law in this area, which is perhaps inevitable bearing in mind the linguistic problems of translating and interpreting any directive coupled with the ambiguity and omission of definitions of several key terms. More important, however, than any academic argument will be the practical impact of the new law and its effectiveness in achieving its aim.     

市场经济形成中的犯罪违法现象——法律社会学的思考

<正> 社会治安和秩序近年来一直是人们所关心的问题之一。目前我国的社会治安和社会秩序不好是一个几乎不可否认的事实。不仅与经济联系的明显危害社会和公民的违法犯罪现象大量增加,其它类型的违法犯罪现象也明显增加。本文试图利用法律社会学的一些知识,结合历史的和外国的经验,特别是结合我国改革开放以来的一些社会变化探讨市场经济形成过程中有关违法犯罪的现象问题。首先,我想一般地探讨市场经济与违法犯罪现象的关系。其次,我将从法律社会学的角度探讨一下为什么我国社会主义市场经济建立和经济体制转换时期违法犯罪会增加。据此,我就如何在建设社会主义市场经济的条件下,预防违法犯罪的激增提出一些个人看法。
